The First Step

Well, any day I would take her place,
Just to let her live one more day,
Watch the colors of her life turn grey,
I'm scared she'd feel the same way,
And kill herself the same day.
Maybe everything is set in stone,
Unknown corners remain unknown,
And that's how they'll always be,
Unsatisfied with living,
And to make the matters worse,
Not a single thing can be reversed,
I'll feel nauseous in my head,
And still turn up late to bed
But I guess it's what it is,
And I guess I still miss you sis.
I'll get dressed and roll my sleeves,
Take one step and keep on living,
Or maybe I'll just beat them to it.
Everyone is against me,
They've got a secret plot to kill me.

I had a dream last night,
My teeth were falling out of my mouth,
And me and my dad were okay.
We walked the streets of his neighborhood
and we were talking like old days,
But nothing was the same,
But who cares anyway.
Well I tried to talk about our problems,
He said, "it's over," and to stay.
The headlights were looking more appealing.
I guess it's just a dream,
I've got to tell myself these things,
Or else I'll go insane.
I'll wake up and forget in a few minutes and have breakfast,
And move on with my day.
Now I'm in a corn field,
With my teeth in my hands,
And I was looking for my mom.
I pressed my tongue against my gums,
And said that I was okay,
But nothing was the same,
But who cares anyway.
You said conform,
I said confine,
I've had it with your here-say.

Everything is growing small,
I'm stretching clothes and punching walls,
Bruised knuckles won't revive the feeling,
That I can't get a grip on my own life,
You go till there's nothing but distance,
Between us and all I know,
Is I'll have trouble holding together broken pieces.
But I hold a tremendous amount of feelings for you,
"It's just the night," she said.
You seemed inviting but you're,
Who can I talk to anymore?
And what's in store?
Well, you're burning our shit in some pit in a park,
I guess we're just a quick flame and luminous sparks,
I see a future but you say,
"How, when you want to live in rain and I want to live in sun?"

I think I'm just stressed,
I think I'm just down,
I've got a cold shoulder from your ice heart,
And a permanent frown.
My friends are at home plate,
And I'm stuck here at second base,
I've never felt so far away,
and I've never felt so afraid.
Anticipate everything,
Like the hiccup that never comes,
And at the end of the night I'm flipping pages with my thumbs.
I feel like I'm the loser,
Thinking you've won.
My heart tells me to run at the thought of you,
But as far as the shaky legs are concerned, I'm done.
(My friends are at home plate, and I'm stuck at second base. I've never felt so far away)
There's a dent in Berto's car,
Like the dent in my lungs,
I've always got something to say, but the air- I've got none.
So someone hit me now, yeah, a crash with ten tons.
My sister is off to college and I'm still at home with mom.
I've never felt so afraid.
The martial artists my father's trained,
Are better behaved than half the kids my age.

Turned To Leave

She stares through the doorway,
Like her eyes are lit,
With kerosene,
And as my dog turned to leave,
It was then I realized,
Everyone departs,
That's close to me.
You see me and I look okay,
Can't you see, that's the smile I fake?
Why do all the things always feel the same?
Do you remember me?
As a fond memory,
Not something shot down,
And burned away?
And as my dog turned to leave,
It was then I realized,
Everyone departs,
That's close to me.
You see me and I look okay,
Can't you see, that's the smile I fake?
Why do all the things always feel the same?
I like mornings in the shade.
When did I ever? Never.

Anchored Down

What happened to me
And how did this happen
I told myself it’s the right thing
But in my heart I feel dead
And it’s not because it’s just some thing
Or that I’m anchored down
More like it’s where I’m supposed to be
More like I am home now
And I swear you are everything
Even in the things I can’t stand
And I swear you mean everything
You are the waves and I’m the sand
You came crashing into me
You changed my world and you changed me
You fixed what was broken, amiss
Your love was stronger than any fist
